Higher Education and the Forces of Self-Organization: An Interview with Margaret Wheatley.
Katz, Richard N.
CAUSE/EFFECT, v20 n1 p18-21 Spr 1997
Author Margaret Wheatley discusses her theory that life and work are self-organizing and that organizations must be approached as dynamic, living systems. The interview focuses on how the theory applies to higher education institutions, university leadership, physical proximity in learning, development of communities of practice, attitudes toward change, and the organizational environment.
